PPLive

PPLive is the P2P streaming platform founded by 姚欣 / Yao Xin and discussed in No.204 互联网视频平台混战：从后舍男生到漫长的季节 | 中国互联网故事21. The episode uses its live-streaming performance during large events to show why P2P Streaming was important before mature CDN-heavy video infrastructure.

PPLive also illustrates the fate of many early streaming companies: technical edge and user traffic were not enough once content rights, financing, and platform backing became decisive.
